Who doesn’t know that technology is dramatically changing how we live. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has certainly been the talk of the town, but much more, it’s been the talk of every town on Earth practically. There might be a couple of mountain villages in Switzerland that talk more about goats and snowshoes. As for the rest of the modern world:

AI has been the cause of much celebration as well as controversy, concern, and debate—celebrated for its breakthroughs in efficiency, creativity, and problem-solving, but criticized for its potential risks, ethical dilemmas, job displacement, and unintended consequences.

The Truth is The Changes We’re Living Through Are Far Bigger and
Long-Lasting Than Most People Comprehend.

It’s hard to put this in perspective, because most people get focused on one area of change, like corporations laying off tens of thousands of coders because AI does the coding faster and better. If you used to be a coder at Salesforce, HubSpot, or Microsoft you’re focused on how AI is putting people out of work, but you’re not observing the bigger picture beyond your own little world. This is a classic example of not seeing the forest for the trees. The truth is AI is rebuilding the entire infrastructure of modern economies, and as earth shattering as that is, AI is only one force among many in the vast, unfolding drama that is shaping our destiny.

These Changes Are Deconstructing, Re-Engineering, Rebuilding,
and Re-Defining Everything We Do.

Try to name an industry or segment of any culture that is not in the midst of a dramatic evolution right now. Let’s put this in perspective by meeting people where they live and work today:

1. A remote Himalayan monk in Bhutan uses ChatGPT on a donated solar-powered tablet to translate sacred texts from classical Tibetan into English for international students.
2. A financial analyst at Goldman Sachs runs Claude and GPT-5 in tandem to model the ripple effects of a sudden oil embargo on global currency markets in real time.
3. A high school physics teacher in rural Kenya uses Google Gemini to create interactive virtual lab simulations for students without access to laboratory equipment.
4. A Pulitzer-winning investigative journalist leverages Perplexity AI to synthesize 10,000 leaked documents into a 50-page exposé on government corruption in under 24 hours.
5. A UN humanitarian team uses OpenAI’s voice translation to communicate instantly with refugees speaking six different languages at a Syrian border crossing.
6. A small-town librarian in Montana uses MidJourney to design custom illustrated covers for local authors’ self-published books, giving them a polished, professional edge.
7. A law firm in New York deploys Harvey AI to analyze millions of pages of case law and drafts winning arguments, slashing research time from months to hours.
8. A solo indie game developer in Estonia creates an entire AAA-quality open-world game using Suno AI for music, MidJourney for assets, and GPT-powered NPC dialogue—and sells 5 million copies without a studio.
9. A sports equipment company’s engineers use advanced AI design tools to develop a new pickleball racket that dramatically increases the “spin” capacity beyond any racket on the market.
10. An archaeologist at the University of Cambridge uses AI-powered spectral imaging to reveal hidden scrolls in the ruins of Pompeii, rewriting chapters of ancient history.
11. A SpaceX mission engineer uses AI-driven simulation models to predict microgravity effects on satellite components before launch, preventing a $500M failure.
12. A startup in Tokyo uses autonomous AI agents to design, code, market, and launch a SaaS platform—without a single human writing a line of code.
13. A global news network automates entire nightly broadcasts using deepfake anchors powered by synthetic voices trained on their real presenters—audiences never notice.
14. A college student in Brazil uses Suno AI and GPT-5 to create original songs, composes the lyrics, and distributes them to Spotify automatically—he becomes a viral hit overnight.
15. A hospital in Switzerland trains a custom GPT medical model to analyze complex genetic data, accelerating cancer diagnosis timelines from six weeks to six hours.
16. An author of children’s coloring books uses AI to create entire coloring books that sell so well, he earns a seven figure passive income.

Forgive me for this long list, but it could be 10,000 times longer. The point is that not only are we seeing change at a pace in comparison with the past that might be referred to as an order of magnitude (which is bigger by 10), but we are seeing an increase in the momentum of change, and that’s why in the title I refer to “an Order of Magnitude to the Power of 10.” This is like a logarithmic scale of change, and it has never happened on a worldwide scale before as it is right now!

What does all of this have to do with Books and BooksOnline.Club?

Make no mistake, one of the great catalysts of change in world history has been the birth of new ideas. The next question a logical mind might ponder is: How do new ideas find fertile soil and take hold of people in ways that alter the course of civilizations? For centuries, the most powerful vehicle for sharing those ideas has been the book. From the moment Gutenberg’s printing press shattered the barriers of scarcity and made knowledge available to the masses, books have carried the wisdom, the dreams, and the revolutions of one generation into the hands of the next. Empires have risen and fallen, sciences have advanced, and entire cultures have transformed because words were preserved, printed, and passed on.

Today, that legacy continues — more accessible and far-reaching than ever. eBooks and audiobooks have broken the final barriers of time and distance, delivering the ideas of great thinkers and storytellers instantly to anyone, anywhere, on any device. Never before in human history has the power to spread ideas been so vast, so immediate, and so personal. Books remain the lifeblood of progress — only now, they travel at the speed of light.

Granted, ideas are spread today through many online sources, including YouTube, podcasts, blogs, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Instagram, and many other ways, but most of those ideas find their original source in the written word, primarily well researched persuasive books. Ideas in books have a way of propagating, morphing, and often penetrating every nook and cranny of a society, and when fully adopted in a number of applications, no one remembers where the idea came from.

The book industry is caught up in the same time warp you and I are living in. Change is happening so fast, most people can’t begin to describe the changes in the context of their own life experience.

We’re seeing industries literally morph over night right now in front of our faces. In fact, some industries are going away and will never return. Some jobs are going away forever. Some companies are closing their doors forever. The book industry, on the other hand, is in the midst of a grand evolutionary change, one that will better serve consumers and authors and deprecate the role of billionaires.

The Book Industry is Also in The Midst of Eternal Change.

Let’s say it out loud. “Amazon is the elephant in the room when it comes to book distribution, and a billion other products.” Therefore everyone assumes Amazon will remain the dominant book distributor with KDP, ACX, and other companies it owns to horizontally and vertically control the book publishing, printing, marketing, distribution and retail businesses. If you assume Amazon is so powerful and so big that it will remain in power, think again.

The history of technology and disruptive business development has taught us that the world can change very quickly. The billionaire of yesterday can quickly end up a lonely man living off his meager rental income from a few houses he purchased when he still had money.

We learned from Google how a company can enter the market with a beautiful theme like, “Don’t be evil,” only to become evil when it becomes a massive conglomerate. Even now we are watching the search empires of Google and Microsoft dissolve as AI tools now become our favorite way to find answers to our questions.

You may not have thought about this, but billion dollar empires are suddenly caught up in a battle for survival with young tech entrepreneurs who don’t need funding to launch extraordinary services and apps that consumers quickly adopt. The barriers to reaching millions of people instantly are all gone. Time and distance is reduced to approximately zero, if not irrelevant entirely.
